My path to creating articles in wood came from transferring my engineering skills in metal to the element of wood. The creative opportunities I have discovered from wood has since become a passion. I have long held a great respect for the powers of nature and feel that through my work I am helping to preserve this precious commodity.

All my work is produced from Scottish woods that have been felled due to disease, ageing or coppiced.
I do not believe in felling trees for the purpose of my work, hence the majority of my work is produced from Elm, Burr Elm, Scottish Yew and Beech..
